Soon you may find a Clarke
County policeman sitting next
to you in your third period
sociology class if Police Chief
Tate Brown has his way. But
don't be suspicious, for the
policeman will be taking notes
just as intently as any other
student
The reason he’ll be taking
notes is to earn credit towards
a pay increase under a newly
proposed educational incentive
program for the department.
The program is the first
developed under the county’s
merit system, which has been
in effect since July 1. The
merit system allows each
particular county department
to develop its own educational
program, with the approval of
the county personnel board
The personnel board met
Thursday afternoon to consider
Chief Brown’s program. The
board had the educational
program of the Athens Police
Department in mind to com
pare with the proposed county
program and to possibly
incorporate some elements of
the established program into
the new one, according to
board Chairman Marion Ivey.
The proposed program would
award a one-step pay increase
for 90 hours of approved
classroom work. A one-step
increase would also be avail
able for 500 hours of in-service
training.
For example, for one pay
scale in the police department,
an officer could increase his
salary one level, from $393.42
to $413.12 for the above-men
tioned hours. Policemen com
pleting 180 classroom hours or
100 hours of in-service training
would become eligible for a
two-step pay increase.
‘Sociology could
give’... a better
understanding of
different
lifestyles”
—Chandler
Although Ivey called the
hours required for the in
creases, as proposed by
Brown, "pretty conservative,”
board members estimated that
half-a-dozen officers would
immediately become eligible
for a one- or two-step
adjustment The board is
requesting a list of the eligible
officers from Brown "to find
out what kind of money we’re
talking about right away,”
Ivey said.
The board will also request a
list of approved courses for the
program Classroom training
could be available from the
University, police academies,
Athens Vo-tech, various busi
ness schools and continuing
education programs, according
to Ivey.
Officers would provide tran
scripts of their work, which
could be cross-checked against
the approved courses list. This
is the system used in the city’s
educational program, accord
ing to Ivey. One board member
suggested that the officers'
records be reviewed at the
monthly meetings of the
personnel board, instead of
yearly, as outlined in the
county’s merit system.
The more general courses
which might be included in the
program, such as sociology,
would be of practical use to the
police officer, according to
Capt. Ronald Chandler of the
Clarke County Police Depart
ment.
"Sociology could give the
officer a better understanding
of different lifestyles and
different people’s ethnic back
grounds,” he said in an
interview Thursday
Chandler added that much
in-service training is done by
the department itself to inform
officers of the rules, proce
dures and policies of the
department. The Northeast
Georgia Police Academy also
offers four-hour blocks of
in-service training once a
month in subjects such as
burglary, interrogation and
homicide investigation.
Chandler said the depart
ment tries to arrange courses
suggested by the officers
themselves.
One area of concern to the
board was that some courses
might be too general to be of
practical value to county
employees.
"A general ourse in English
is good for everybody and
probably could teach a truck
driver to read better, but will
it teach him to drive a truck
better?” one board member
asked. This problem could
arise as a result of core
curriculum requirements at
the University, according to
board members.
Concern was also expressed
over allowing an officer to
advance on the pay scale too
quickly. However, while the
board vowed to watch out for
"going off the deep end,” one
member pointed out that the
system was to recognize those
individuals who excel and that
it should reward them, even if
they earn both classroom and
in-service training.
The board members added
that they would lean heavily on
Chief Brown’s recommenda
tions when he attended the
next meeting.

Marion Ivey, chairman of the personnel board, is working on the new program
Malfunctioning alarm system
could have caused plane crash
San Diego (UPD—About 40 seconds before
the worst plane crash in U.S. history, a new
warning system sounded an alarm that a
jetliner was about to collide with a small plane.
But controllers talking to the pilots could not
hear the alarm, and those who could were
unable to contact them.
A computerized warning system in operation
a little more than a month sounded an alert at
the Miramar air control station while the tower
at Lindbergh Field—eight miles away—was
controling the flights, the chief federal crash
investigator said Wednesday night
A shrieking siren sounded, warning of the
impending collision at 3,000 feet between a
Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a
single—engine Cessna that killed at least 150
persons Monday.
The system signaled the alert only 40 seconds
before the collision "and possibly less,” Phillip
Hogue, head of the National Transportation
Safety Board investigation team, told a news
conference.
But the warning was not received by
controllers at Lindbergh Field-where both
pilots intended to land—which had taken over
guidance of the two planes minutes before, he
said.
Controllers at Miramar, who had broken
radio contact with the pilots, frantically called
the Lindbergh Tower to relay the warning and
urge the jetliner pilot to climb.
But they were too late, he said. The
Lindbergh tower told them "PSA is going
down.”
Both pilots had been given routine advisories
about the proximity of the other plane on two
different occasions, he said, the first when the
jetliner was three miles from the airport and
the second when it was one mile away.
PSA Capt. James McFeron acknowledged
both advisories, Hogue said. But garbled
recordings of the radio transmission made it
unclear whether the pilot of the small plane
responded to both alerts or only the first
Hogue said investigators were playing down
the theory a third plane was in the same air
sDace and contributed to the crash
Investigators had speculated the other plane in
sight, not realizing he was looking at the wrong
plane.
The pilot of a "third plane" located
Wednesday turned out to have been seven to
eight miles west of the jetliner when it was hit,
indicating he was too far away to have been
involved, Hogue said.
Investigators have not completely eliminated
the "third plane” possibility, he said, “but it
would appear not to be a factor "
The death toll meanwhile was reduced from
151 to 150 Wednesday when PSA corrected the
number of persons aboard the jetliner from 136
to 135. The crash also killed two men aboard
the Cessna, a Marine sergeant taking
instrument flight lessons and his instructor.
An estimated 13 persons were killed on the
ground when the flaming jetliner smashed into
a block of homes and exploded Their bodies
were so badly torn and burned that no official
identifications have been made yet. Coroner
David Stark said Wednesday that may take
weeks
